Finding magic in taking off

What Magic? Where?

For all you wonderers and wanderers; for you doers, practical task managers, going about business as usual. Magic is here. Now. Available.

I’ve spent a lot of time - too much time- waiting for it to tap me on the shoulder, though. So I’m on a journey to find it as I go, in life and in the world and in story.

Join me to discover unexpected diversions in ordinary days, good stories, and hopefully, flashes of wonder, as I try to “cooperate fully, humbly, joyfully with inspiration” [Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic]

I’m calling on my inner child spirit to pay attention and follow the tug of ideas and insights sparked by the written word - especially literature written for children - but also among people, on the sidewalk, in the grocery store, and naturally, amidst trees and mountains and gardens.

“Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of Magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden—in all the places.” [Frances Hodson Burnett, The Secret Garden]

Let’s look for it.
